In business, few things are as important for growth as branding. Successfully branding a company can take it from being just another struggling start-up to an industry leader.

We’ve compiled a list of 10 branding stats that everyone should be aware of when marketing to consumers:

Having trouble generating new leads for your business? Want to expand your reach and gain more awareness? Look no further than Google AdWords.
